On the way home to Melbourne after winning the Oi Vert Jam in Rio De Janero, Brazil, new number one vert number Renton Millar got stuck in coach, according to a story in Australia’s The Age. But that was alright because he got to hang out with Tony Hawk.
“I’ve done quite a bit of flying,” says Renton Millar, “but I don’t know anyone who’s bettered that one. It was 55 hours. I got a bit of a dud ticket.” . . . “That guy really doesn’t have to work another day in his life, but he chooses to get out there and represent skating, put a smile on the faces of people who’ve loved him their whole life,” says Millar, who freely admits to being one such devotee since his first run at Bulleen bowl in 1987. On Saturday, he and Hawk skated impromptu demos in Frankston, then moved on to Prahran after rain intervened, and Hawk was still eager to go again after that too was rained off.
For the rest of Renton’s mainstream media profile follow the jump.
